The abbreviated phrase function is provided to help you increase your typing
speed when you have to frequentiy type iong strings of words (“phrases”). You
may store the phrases in the abbreviated phrase memory, along with a short
abbreviation (the “name” of the phrase). For instance, you may store the phrase
“United States of America” together with the name “USA”. Once this has been
done, ail you have to do to enter “United States of America” in your document is
to type “USA” and press ICODEI + tailiMB (®). “USA” wiii automaticaliy be
replaced with “United States of America”, if you type a name that does not exist in
the abbreviated phrase memory, and press (@), you will hear a
beep.
The abbreviated phrase memory can store a maximum of 30 phrases and names.
Each phrase can consist of up to 67 characters, while a name is limited to 8 char­
acters. The totai amount of data in the abbreviated phrase memory may not
exceed 1,000 characters.
The abbreviated phrase memory can be saved on diskette and, of course,
retrieved from the diskette. You may create as many abbreviated phrase fiies as
you want, but you may have only one abbreviated phrase fiie on a diskette.
Understanding the Abbreviated Phrase Memory
The abbreviated phrase memory is stored in the word processor for as long as
the unit remains on. if you have created phrases and wouid iike to use these
phrases in other fiies you wiii be creating iater on, you wiil need to SAVE this
phrase memory onto a diskette. (See “Saving the Abbreviated Phrase Memory”
on page 82.) Later, when you want to use the phrases that are stored on a dis­
kette, you may LOAD the fiie into the memory of the unit. (See “Loading an
Abbreviated Phrase File” on page 82.)
NOTES:
• Each diskette can hold only one abbreviated phrase file. If you save an
abbreviated phrase memory onto a diskette that already contains an abbrevi­
ated phrase file, that file will be overwritten by the new abbreviated phrase
file.
• The memory of the word processor can hold only one abbreviated phrase
memory. If you create an abbreviated phrase memory, and then load an
abbreviated phrase file from a diskette, the abbreviated phrase memory will
be overwritten by the loaded file.
